For a long time, I have been holding onto a piece of very beautiful paper from Magenta, the Pleasures Collection name Delicate Stripes; I want to use it for a layout to showcase a special photo. And finally I used it for the March Challenge over at the Magenta Blog. It's a sketch, like this:

And here's my layout:

I really treasure the photo (of my two sisters and myself) very much and I want to pair it up with the pretty paper I've kept for so long; I try not to cover the paper too much. I was inspired by Magenta's DT member Ellie Knol's layout to keep the elements as transparent/monochronmatic as possible.

The background is dry embossed using embossing folder Sheet Music by Darice and then I rubbed the raised texture with ColorBox Frost White ink. The music sign is fuzzy cut, the paper is glittery and silver (although it's not show well in the photo). I must admit this is the first card I've ever made with out stamping!!

It's the end of Spring break here in Quebec, Canada; so to finish off the week long holiday, we skipped cooking supper at home and ate out. Yay.. more time to play with my stamps! And I am glad to finally break open my RAD stamp set which I've won in the January Sneak Peek Week comment to win contest at CAS-ual Fridays Stamps.

I don't think I need to give any details about the card; it's really selfexplanatory. Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy the rest of the weekend, or have a great week ahead depending from which part of the world you're visiting! Bye.
